Prophecy,

The prophet kaiah, in the fey,est pos
sible words, describes the construction of
railroads:
Every valley shall be exalted and
every mountain and hill shall be made
low, and the crooked shall he made
straight and the rough places plain.
And the glory Of the Lord shall be re-
vealed, and all flesh shall see II together"
The prophet Habakkuk in the fewest
words possible describes the telephone.
''For the stone shall cry out Of the wall,
and the beam out of the timber shall
answer Second chapter, eleventh
verse; fourteenth verse: ''For the earth
shall be filled with the knowledge Of the
glory Of the Lord. as the waters o
the sea- Both Of these prophesies are
located in a class of dispensational prophe-
cies, easily identifed.-Cor Hartford

The failure Of the effort to repe,

THE failure Of the effort to repeal
the pre-emption, timber culture and
desert land acts by the present Con.
gress is now an admitted fact. For The
second time. u bill TO secure these
greatly needed reforms for the protec.
ton of the public domain has failed
through the efforts Of the corporation
attorneys in the Senate. The commit
tee Of conference, after a number Of
sessions, have finally reported their
inability to agree and the laws will
stand with all their loopholes for freud
and robbery in the pretended settle
ment and cultivation Of the public
lands. The cause of disagreement was
In a section of the bill authorizing the
commissioner of the land office TO sus-
pend the issue Of a patent In any case
of suspected fraud. and requiring him
to send such q case to the department
of justice for the institution If pro-
ceedings to revoke the certificate. Ex-
ceptions were TO be made in all cases
in which lands may have been sold TO
q bona fide purchaser for value. This
provision, which looks very fair on
the surface, would have deprived the
commissioner of the land Office of all
authority 10 investigate and finally de-
termine cases of land robbery through
violation Of pre-emption and other laws.
Where now the local land offices de-
eide all questions of this kind, with an
appeal 10 the general land Office, the
senate provision would burden the de-
partment Of justice with innumerable
and protracted suits. Under the senate
exception every acquisition Of land.
however fraudulent the process may
have been, would have been made
Legal and valid upon payment of any
thing agreed upon with the pretended
occupant and owner. Thus the lea
of the cattle companies and other COZ
porati 'Ds for seiziDg the public do
main would have been rendered more
simple than ever. The house COM
mittee of conference refused It's assent
to this device to facilitate the fraudulent
acquisition Of the public lands, prefer
ring to let the existing laws on the
subject remain as they re.-Exchange.

the piano business and was succeeded
by John and Michael Paff. In 1915,
William Dubois succeeded. In 1886,
the firm became Dubois & Bacon, and
was succeeded in 1S41, by Bacon g.
Raven. In 1855, by the death of the
senior Mr.. Bacon, the firm became

AMONG the bills to be introduced III
Congress next session will be seven on
pension legislation, prepared under the
auspices of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, with the purpose of providing
aid for all soldiers who saw actual
service, But Congress should be weak
eKough to sanction such a wholesale
raid ON the Treasury, President Cleve-
land will again stand like stone wall
between that boly of designing poll
ticians- with a few honorable excep'
tions-and the coveted Golfers Of a
great and generous people. Another
measure that comes near the people
wilIbe the introduction of bill pro
viding for the licensing of railway en-
gineers and conductors-the object 6e
ing to obtain for such service careful
temperate, and experienced men ano
thus secure the safety Of the passengers
In this connection I may say that it il
highly probable that Congress vii
abolish kerosene lamps and heating
stoves on all railroads-replacing these
death-dealing agencies with electricity
and steaming apparatus, attached t'
the locomotive.
